But I'm back from my last trip outside the wire, and today is my last day at my Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan. Tomorrow I start the process of getting home. It'll still take a few weeks to outprocess at multiple different places, turn in gear, play the hurry-up-and-wait game, wait for flights, do training with chaplains and psychiatrists and stuff, but I'll most likely be home with the fam for Thanksgiving. A lot of you have been very encouraging this year, and I wanted to say thanks. Brian
Good news Brian. Keep your head down until you can get out of Dodge. As others have said, Thank you for your service. Go Blazers
Glad to hear your coming back to the states. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and there are no hiccups. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
I will just hold my breath in the corner over here..you can call me old blue..hurry up! On a serious note, be safe, get home and thank you.
Ok, out of country. I will definitely NOT be leaving pieces of myself in Afghanistan this trip. Still have a couple days of waiting for flight and customs/outprocessing, then finish the week in Germany doing my health physical and decompression training. There is potential to be home Monday, though I've been kicked in the junk before hoping for things like this. Regardless, the weapons are locked up and I'm allowed 2 beers tonight, though Ill most likely wait until Germany. Don't quite trust Russian/Kyrgyzstani fire water
